Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy said that his government is actively encouraging use of technology to solve prevailing urban issues and make Hyderabad truly the best living city.
Besides being cosmopolitan, Hyderabad is best suited among other metropolitan cities in the country to become the most liveable city due to its infrastructural efficiency and resources, the Chief Minister said. He was speaking during a meeting with Analog AI CEO Alex Kipman, a renowned technologist for redefining human–computer interaction.
The Chief Minister discussed developing technological solutions for issues like traffic congestion, urban flooding, protection of lakes, weather prediction and monitoring industrial pollution in the Telangana Core Urban Region. He explained about plans for transforming Bharat Future City as a global hub for technology, innovation and sustainability.
It was decided in the meeting that the Telangana Government would collaborate with Mr. Kipman to integrate real-time sensor networks for traffic, safety, environment, and utilities as part of a larger strategic plan to align ‘Physical Intelligence’ solutions with the government’s priorities.
The Analog AI CEO explained about the rise of ‘Physical Intelligence’ — a bridge between artificial intelligence (AI) with the physical world — and the potential of achieving city-scale innovation using large-scale interconnected sensors, robots and drones.
The Chief Minister sought tailor-made, cutting edge, tech solutions to develop the Bharat Future City, with focus on economic growth and sustainability. The State government would work with Kipman to make best use of the thousands of cameras installed in Hyderabad to improve safety.
Briefing Mr. Kipman about the work on the Musi rejuvenation project, Mr. Revanth Reddy emphasised the need for protecting lakes in the State.
He assured all the support for Analog’s studying of the State’s landscape, problems, and potential opportunities in unidentified areas.
Mr. Kipman expressed confidence in potentially bringing out smart solutions for enhancing safety, sustainability and economic growth of Telangana.
Hyderabad ‘Physical Intelligence’ Pilot
It was resolved at the meeting to introduce an eight-week pilot programme in collaboration with Analog AI towards transforming Hyderabad’s existing CCTV infrastructure into real-time city intelligence. This was in addition to enhancing traffic management, emergency coordination and citizen safety through predictive insight and contextual understanding.
The pilot would be aimed at positioning Hyderabad as the first “Physical Intelligence City” in India. By the end of the pilot, Hyderabad would have a live operational prototype of Physical Intelligence running in the Integrated Command Control Centre (ICCC).
The Chief Minister invited Kipman to attend and share his views at the upcoming Telangana Rising Global Summit on December 8 and 9 to be held in Bharat Future City.
